HC Deb 09 December 1947 vol 445 c159W
65. Mr. T. Reid

asked the President of the Board of Trade how far there is reason to expect an increase in the percentage of plantation rubber used in the United States of America as a result of the recent trade agreement made at Geneva; or if the 25 per cent. of synthetic rubber to be insisted on in the U.S.A. in future is 25 per cent. of the total consumption of all kinds of rubber used in that country.

Mr. Bottomley

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given to the hon. Member for Bury (Mr. W. Fletcher) on 4th December.
